Hvordan er v\u00e6ret, hvordan er v\u00e6ret, hvordan er v\u00e6ret i dag?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hvordan er v\u00e6ret, hvordan er v\u00e6ret, hvordan er v\u00e6ret i dag?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ja det regner ute, regner ute, ja det regner i dag.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a song that I\u00a0taught to\u00a0little kids at the Norwegian pre-school I used to work at.\u00a0 It is a very simple song and a great way to teach\u00a0a Norwegian phrase about the weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How is the weather, how is the weather, how is the weather today?<\/p>\n

How is the weather, how is the weather, how is the weather today?<\/p>\n

Yes it’s raining outside, raining outside, yes it’s raining to day.<\/p>\n

Of course, we had these great, colorful, weather puppets that we could play around with…<\/p>\n

Hvordan er v\u00e6ret i dag?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The weather where I am has taken a fairly substantial step towards spring.\u00a0 It got up to 60 degrees, up from -2 degrees on Wednesday.\u00a0 Pretty significant temperature increase.\u00a0 Jeg er lei av sn\u00f8.\u00a0 <\/strong>I am sick of snow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Usually the weather is a topic you want to master as best you can when learning a new language.\u00a0\u00a0The following phrases are phrases I think are important to know if you want to engage in conversational norsk:<\/p>\n

–Hvordan er v\u00e6ret?\u00a0 <\/strong>How is the weather.<\/p>\n

–Det ……….\u00a0<\/strong>It…followed by\u00a0the following such\u00a0verbs i.e. regner <\/strong>(rains), sn\u00f8r <\/strong>(snows), bl\u00e5ser <\/strong>(blows), fryser <\/strong>(freezes) stormer <\/strong>(storms), er <\/strong>(is).\u00a0 Norwegian does not use verbs in the present tense in the same way\u00a0that English does.\u00a0 In English one can say ‘It rains,’ but ‘It’s raining’ is much more common in everyday language.\u00a0 Only recently did some Norwegians begin to Americanize the language a bit and use ‘ing’ at the end of a verb to express an action or condition in the present.\u00a0<\/p>\n

–Sola skinner.\u00a0 <\/strong>The sun shines.<\/p>\n

–Det er ______ <\/strong>replaced by an adjective such as ….. kaldt, varmt, iskaldt <\/strong>(cold, warm, ice cold).<\/p>\n

–Temperaturen er _______ <\/strong>(The temperature is….)<\/p>\n

–Det er ______ grader <\/strong>(It is_____degrees).<\/p>\n

–Luften er _____ <\/strong>(The air is…t\u00f8rr <\/strong>or v\u00e5t <\/strong>or fuktig-<\/strong>dry, wet, or damp).<\/p>\n

–torden <\/strong>(thunder) lyn (<\/strong>lightning) regn <\/strong>(rain), sn\u00f8 <\/strong>(snow), sol <\/strong>(sun), vind <\/strong>(wind).<\/p>\n

Hvordan er v\u00e6ret <\/strong>where you are right now?<\/p>\n
